And there haven't been any at all since July 2008 ! Good luck. Paul
Hi Paul; No there isn't many messages, on this site. Like any mailing list you will find those who are helpful, and I thought Greg Matthews posts seem to be. I tried a number of his hints. They work ... but ... in genealogy, it still takes a lot of know how, a lot of patience, and an awlful lot of luck, to gather up those stray leaves that have blown off the tree and scattered in the wind. Happy hunting and may we all have the 'luck of the Irish' at least once in awhile.
